Travell, M.D. 1901 - 1997 To whom we all owe a great debt of gratitude for her inspirational pioneering of this field and for heading us in the right direction.</p><p>Foreword</p><p>In my 1992 Foreword to the now-famous mate, Volume 2, of the Trigger Point Manual Volume 1,1 boldly opined that Volume 2 was '.. even better than the other [Vol.1] because it reflects an enormous new recharging of energy that further experience, interaction, and thought have stimulated.. This new volume,' I went on to say, 'has the distinction of going beyond those areas [emphasized in the first edition of Volume 1] to discuss rationale, new principles arising from a ground-swell of experience, and the unique place of myofascial pain syndrome in the spectrum of musculoskeletal disorders.' 'Myofascial trigger points and their significance in painful conditions are no longer the rather controversial subject they were before Volume 1 appeared, nor are the treatment methods taught by Drs. Travell and Simons. These are firmly established and are increasingly being validated by once skeptical clinical investigators ..[Volume 2] goes beyond and opens up new ground in sensitizing clinicians to the important interfaces between myofascial pain syndromes and articular (somatic) dysfunctions on the one hand and fibromyalgia on the other hand. I applaud the wise manner in which these issues are addressed, assessed, and integrated.' How can this scribbler do any better than that eulogy to summarize his opinion of the macho younger mate of Volume 1 when the latter now produces an offspring that outshines both its parents? My scanning of the manuscript before its birth per-</p><p>mits me to predict a magnificent success. This is a gargantuan publishing effort that would have done Rabelais credit. But this Gargantua is not fantasy; it is hard-headed facts and a wise explication of many current ideas and new findings. The new edition clarifies for me the overlap of confusing similar conditions that must be distinguished. It illuminates improved testing methods and clearly puts others into their place, often outside. The authors are forthright and precise in the diagnostic criteria for an active trigger point for general clinical use as a '.. circumscribed spot tenderness in a nodule of a palpable taut band and patient recognition of the pain evoked by pressure on the tender spot as being familiar.' The thorough discussion of the nature of trigger points and their electrodiagnostic characteristics is very valuable and timely, as is the coverage of the histogenesis of trigger points. Updating and expansion throughout the volume now make the two volumes together one of the most impressive medical publishing efforts of modern times. Truly it becomes a tour de force. I am proud to be its 'godfather.'</p><p>John V. Basmajian, O.C., O.

Others must now lead the concept through adolescence to maturity. As a memorial and tribute to Dr Travell's unique contribution, the following selection is quoted from the preface of the first edition of this volume: 'Dr. Travell describes in detail her introduction to myofascial trigger points in her autobiography, Office Hours: Day and Night. Although she was brought up on the unitary concept of disease that all of the patient's symptoms should be explained by one diagnosis, she soon learned that life is not like that. The man who has both heart disease and pulmonary tuberculosis may suddenly die of cancer of the lung. Patient complaints that originate in the musculoskeletal system usually have multiple causes responsible for the total picture. 'Early in her medical career, Dr. Travell served simultaneously on pulmonary, cardiology, and general medical services. On all the services, the major complaint she encountered among the patients was pain. The patient might be dying of a serious illness, but when asked, 'How are you?' would answer, 'Well, ok, except I have this terrible pain in my shoulder. I can't sleep. I can't lie on that side.' When asked the cause of the pain, the resident on the pulmonary service would say that it was reflex from the lung. On the cardiology service, in another hospital, patients had the same complaint of shoulder pain, but the resident explained the pain as reflex from the heart, of course. In the general medical clinic, a secretary who spent all day typing and pulling heavy file drawers would describe precisely the same pain complaint; but its origin was said to be 'psychoso-</p><p>matic.' In none of these patients did the doctors find objective evidence of disease to account for the patient's pain, but the skeletal muscles had not been examined. When Dr. Travell examined these patients, all three groups had isolated tender spots in muscles which, when compressed, reproduced the patient's pain in the shoulder, arm or chest. The common ailment was an unrecognized myofascial trigger point syndrome. 'Fortunately, these observations were made in an environment rich in experimental expertise. She regularly taught pharmacology to medical students whom, to answer their questions, she inspired to perform the appropriate experiments for themselves in the laboratory. The inquisitive students and faculty at the Cornell University Medical College helped Dr. Travell formulate her investigation of the nature of trigger points and how they function. 'She herself was inspired by the interchange of ideas and the criticism of leaders in basic and clinical research at the New York Hospital, Cornell Medical College Center. Foremost among these were Drs. Harry Gold, McKeen Cattell, Vincent du Vigneaud, Ephraim Shorr, Harold G. Wolff, Eugene F. Dubois, and the renowned neurologist, Frank Fremont-Smith, Director of the Josiah Macy Foundation. During the many years of their association, she was especially indebted to her cardiologist collaborator, Seymour H. Rinzler. 'The successful care rendered Senator Kennedy five years prior to his election as President led Dr. Travell to the position of White House Physician under Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. Except for that one short detour, she never strayed from her primary focus on the diagnosis and management of myofascial pain syndromes due to trigger points.' ix</p><p>x</p><p>Preface Previously no distinction was drawn between trigger points located in the middle portion of the muscle belly (central TrPs) and those located in a region of muscle attachment (attachment TrPs). The tenderness of each depends on different pathophysiological processes with significant therapeutic implications that have yet to be adequately explored. In the first edition, an attempt was made to document what we knew about myofascial TrPs, almost all of which was based on clinical observations. There is now the beginning of a peer-reviewed body of literature with blinded, controlled studies that are scientifically credible. Many more are urgently needed. Such studies of the effectiveness of TrP treatment by skilled clinicians should contribute greatly to a more widespread recognition of the importance of myofascial TrPs as a major source of musculoskeletal pain. To facilitate this transition, the present edition now calls attention to specific clinical conditions worthy of investigation (see 'Research Opportunities' in the Index). CHANGES IN THIS EDITION This edition incorporates a number of changes applicable to most chapter..</p>
Janet Graeme Travell (December 17, 1901 – August 1, 1997) was an American physician and medical researcher.[1]
Early life and education[edit]
She was born in 1901 to John Willard and Janet Eliza (Davidson) Travell. Heavily influenced by her father's profession of physician, Travell made the decision to pursue a career in the medical field. In June 1929, in New York City, Janet married John William Gordon Powell, who was an investment counselor. They had two daughters—Janet and Virginia. At the age of 95, Travell died of heart failure at her home in Northampton, Massachusetts.

Career[edit]
Travell And Simons Pdf Merge
During her career, Dr. Travell pioneered techniques for the treatment of myofascial pain, including dry needling. Her career began with her educational pursuits at Wellesley College and continued in graduate school as she pursued an M.D. from Cornell University Medical College in New York City. Diploma in computer application books. Upon graduating in 1926, Travell completed two years of residency at New York Hospital while concurrently serving as an ambulance surgeon for the New York City police force. After completion of residency, Travell became a research fellow at Bellevue Hospital, where she studied the effects of digitalis in patients with lobar pneumonia. Once her fellowship was concluded, Travell returned to Cornell University to serve as instructor in Department of Pharmacology and later as Associate Professor of Clinical Pharmacology. While working for Cornell, she also acted as a cardiology consultant for Sea View Hospital in Staten Island.
Travell accepted a Josiah Macy, Jr. Fellowship at Beth Israel Hospital in New York to study arterial disease from 1939 to 1941. It was during her tenure that she first became interested in skeletal muscle pain, which defined her later career. Her research produced new anesthetic techniques for the treatment of painful backmuscle spasms that proved very successful among patients. Travell's techniques included the use of a local procaine injection and vapocoolant sprays to relieve pain. The sprays are still popular in sports medicine treatments today.
It was her success with alleviating skeletal muscle pain that resulted in Travell being the first female personal Physician to the President. Travell was called upon by the personal orthopedic surgeon of Senator John F. Kennedy to assist with back pain treatments. Kennedy suffered from terrible pain resulting from invasive back surgeries related to injuries sustained during World War II. When Kennedy won the presidential election in 1960, he appointed her as his personal physician.[2] Her treatments included the use of a rocking chair to help alleviate back pain, in the process popularizing their use among the public, who saw the President pictured in his rocker in the Oval Office.[3] She continued to serve as Personal Physician to the President following the assassination of John F. Kennedy, with his successor Lyndon B. Johnson. She continued through Johnson's re-election, but decided to leave the White House in 1965.
While serving as the President's personal physician, Travell also took on the role of Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at the George Washington University in 1961. Even after leaving the White House, she continued teaching at the University as a faculty for the School of Medicine. She occupied positions as Associate Clinical Professor 1961–1970, Emeritus Clinical Professor of Medicine 1970–1988, and Honorary Clinical Professor of Medicine from 1988 until her death in 1997. Travell remained active in the medical field until the end: writing articles, giving lectures, and attending conferences.[4]
Research[edit]
Her personal interest led her to investigate, explain and expound on the phenomenon of myofascial pain syndrome, secondary to trigger points, first written about in the 1920s by Dr Dudley J. Morton.[5] She drew attention to the role of 'Morton's Toe' and its responsibility for causing physical pain throughout the body.

Travell's research resulted in over 100 scientific articles, as well as the acclaimed co-authored book with David G. Simons: https://imrenew411.weebly.com/aliran-dan-paham-sesat-di-indonesia.html. Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction. The Trigger Point Manual. She also wrote her autobiography, Office Hours: Day and Night, which sheds light on her career and life.
Quote[edit]
- 'I have lived in a very special world - a world of love and security; beauty and serenity; opportunity, adventure, and variety; challenge and achievement; and the appreciation of my peers. I have had a sufficiency of everything that I desired and a surfeit of nothing.' Dr. Travell, author's note to Office Hours: Day and Night, 1968.[6]
